Jonna-Lynn Knauer Mandelbaum, Methodist missionary nurse and nursing educator, was born on November 23, 1946 in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.  She received her bachelor's degree from Lebanon Valley College in 1969, a master's degree in public health from Johns Hopkins University in 1978, and a PhD in education from Georgia State University in 1986.  In 1969 she went to Mozambique to serve as a missionary nurse for the United Methodist Church.  She also worked in Swaziland and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).  She focused on international health issues throughout most of her professional career.  She worked with nursing programs in Papua New Guinea and the Philippines, and served as the director of nursing programs in Central and Eastern Europe for Project Hope.  Mandelbaum is retired and lives in New Mexico.

This collection consists of the research material and taped interviews of Jonna-Lynn K. Mandelbaum.  The material in the collection was used for research on her dissertation The Missionary as a Cultural Interpreter, which pertains to the Tswana culture in Mozambique.  The collection contains manuscripts, articles, and correspondence from Charles Edward Fuller, Ira E. Gillet, Alf Helgesson, and Mary Rea.  The manuscripts include information on missionaries B. F. Ousley, Mary and Julian Rea, and Erwin H. Richards.  The collection includes tapes and transcripts of interviews with Fuller, Gillet, Helgesson, Mary Rea and other missionaries and individuals who lived in Mozambique and were familiar with the work of Methodist missionaries.  The taped interviews are available in the library but copies cannot be supplied for use outside the library.
